Note: Thanks SO MUCH to everyone who took the time to comment and message with additional open bars and restaurants (and karaoke!). It takes a village to pull this list together and I REALLY appreciate your help.
I know, I know, I know. We should all be gathered round the hearth cuddled in the bosom of our families on Christmas Day. But let’s just say you only have plans with your family in the morning. Maybe you’re new to town and couldn’t go home for the holidays. WHATEVER the reason it is Christmas Eve or Christmas Day in Tacoma and you need a freaking beer. I’m here to help friends. I’m here to help. I’ve called around and gotten the 411 on which bars are open and when. THERE’S EVEN KARAOKE. So maybe you’re reading this at 7pm on Christmas Day and all you want is to go sing “Last Christmas” by Wham! while drowning your sorrows in a vodka tonic (because you’re already on your New Years Diet). That’s cool. Go do it. Tacoma is here for you.
